Wenger happy Arsenal star Cazorla didn't get on pitch for Spain

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger isn't overly concerned after Santi Cazorla didn't see action for Spain this week.

Cazorla travelled to Panama with Spain - though, to Wenger's relief, the midfielder did not feature as the world champions ran out 5-1 winners.

He told Arsenal Player: "I believe he didn't need games. He was overloaded with games so on that front I was happy that he got a little breather.

"It is not a complete breather because 20 hours travelling is of course not what we want. It's the advantage and the disadvantage of being called up in a squad. At least he didn't get injured and hopefully will recover before Saturday."
